A handmade Amish quilt makes a comfortable bed spread and a family heirloom to be passed from generation to generation. Each quilt is handmade with love by one of our fine quilters. The Lone Star quilt is a beautiful example of a traditional quilt pattern. It is made with shades of purple fabrics with a scalloped border edged with a dark purple binding. This specific quilt is initialed and dated and quilted with 264 yards of thread by one talented Amish lady named, Elizabeth Miller, to ensure consistent stitching. On a queen-size bed, this quilt will allow 20 inches of drop per side.
Measures 101″ x 114″ long.
Homemade quilts combine the warmth of a bed cover with a unique story told by the quilters from Lancaster County, PA. Every homemade quilt is as unique as the family, busy mother or Amish ladies group who uses a needle and thimble to thread stitch on the quilt. Some quilts involve hundreds of hours and thousands of stitches to create a unique patchwork quilt that will last for generations.

The Postage Stamp is a popular Scrap Quilt Pattern
Square and Applique Scraps compliment in this Country Hearts Quilt
A few Scrap Quilt variations.
Called a “charm” quilt in the late 19th century, young women collected hundreds of different fabrics from their family and friends. Perhaps if they collected 999 different squares, their true love would bring them the thousandth–and their happily-ever-after dream, too. One quilting blogger speculates that collecting these fabrics may have given girls opportunities to ask their love interest for a contribution!
The scrap quilt has also been called a “beggar” quilt, referring to quilters asking each other for contributions to their projects. Trying to put together a bedspread without repeating every fabric, they also called the quilts “odd feller” quilts–every piece was an odd feller. Some families recall their mother repeating one square, however, so that a child sick in bed might be entertained looking for the matching patches.
Still another name scrap quilts went by is the “postage stamp” quilt, so called because quilters would use their tiniest scraps, sometimes no bigger than a postage stamp. Perhaps the original motivation was not wasting the smallest piece (historians recall the scarcity of the Great Depression in this), but it also became a challenge at some point. Quilters would collect thousands of pieces to compete with each other in making stitched masterpieces.

Ancient Star is another Scrap Quilt Pattern
A color coordinated Scrap Quilt is an exquisite work of art!
Each and every step of the quilt-making process calls for a particular lady's expertise. Each of our ladies concentrates on either assembling or quilting. Consequently, a minimum of two ladies are included in making each quilt. The women that sew the tops together specialize in assembling particular quilt patterns. Because each quilter's stitches are different, just one lady does the quilting per quilt. This system allows each lady to come to be an expert in her field.
My husband loves the ocean, we live 1 hour away, so I bought this quilt “for him”. Our bedroom has several nautical items in it and is painted a sea foam blue. We love it and we pray for the quilter of the Sailor’s compass quilt nightly.
I really love this quilt. I have such a great appreciation for all the work that went into the making.
We LOVE our quilt. What could be better than a hand-made heart quilt for Valentine’s Day. It will come out of the closet in a couple weeks or so and I’ll send a picture. Thanks.
We used one of the two quilts for our guest room.
Yes we absolutely love our quilt and use it daily. It was bought as a Christmas present to ourselves.

I just couldn’t leave Pennsylvania’s Amish Country without taking home a hand-quilted quilt from Family Farm Quilts. I looked through at least 50 options before deciding on this gorgeous Surf Song design.
I think it’s absolutely perfect in every way! <3
Thanks! The quilt is gorgeous and we cherish it.

Although the fabric pieces are sewn with each other by machine to make certain tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics compose the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched in between those two layers, nevertheless, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting guaranties both warmth and outstanding washing results.
Almost all of our quilts are large enough to take care of the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as mattress heights differ, each quilt's overall size varies. You'll find we designate the quilt's measurements along with the calculated drop for you to compare to the size you need. Kindly do your measuring prior to purchasing!Fortunately, these quilts are indeed washable in a washing machine! We suggest adhering to these guidelines for best results:
The term handmade is generally used to define crafts created by an artisan as opposed to a factory. Each handmade quilt is one-of-a-kind because it is not mass-produced. Not all the stitching in a hand-crafted quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter utilizes mechanical devices to develop his workmanship, our seamstresses use numerous devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her items with a rotating blade knife and sew them with each other on the stitching machine. The quilter functions with just string, needle, and also thimble to quilt hundreds of small stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and also talent to develop a thing uniquely for you.
